Invitation for parade-goers

As the Christmas Parade moves up Commercial Street tonight, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will continue its tradition of inviting parade-goers to warm up with hot cider and cookies. The church building, at Ninth Avenue and Commercial Street, will be open to provide a place to step inside out of the weather. The building’s bathrooms will also be available.
